Default Larry Frisch Grading

Posted By: Brad Green

I don't know that I've bought anything from Larry Frisch, but he does have (or has had) some fairly hard-to-find cards. As far as his grading, the "Ex, with crease" grade always made me wonder.

Larry's opinion on graded cards is something that I remember. About 7 or 8 years ago, I remember reading an interview in the Sports Collectors Digest with Larry where he said that when he buys graded cards, the first thing he does is break them open. Then, a few years after that, SCD started grading cards. Who did they ask to be a spokesman for their new grading company? None other than Larry Frisch, who once said that he always broke graded cards out of their cases. Pictures of Larry and his son Jeff were always found in the Sports Collectors Digest saying how great SCD's grading was.

I know... People have the right to change their mind about things. But, I always thought it was a little ironic...

(Edited to add: I bought my first card from Larry Frisch today. That's ironic!)
